PG, 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 1, 1975. Behind the scenes Trouble with holidays is they end BY KEITH ROULSTON Basically, I'm a lazy person. Holidays arc something that haven't been all that plentiful around our house in the past few. years and it's just as well, The trouble is, give me a week and 1 want a month. If I had a month I'd likely want a year. I find it all too easy to be a bum, I think if I'd been born rich instc ad of stupid, I could have plea,antly put up with that hard life of lazing around the beach on the French Riviera all winter and lazing around a country place up north all summer long. I'm like an old truck 1 once drove, it ran along well enough while it was in gear; but if you ever let it idle out of gear for a while, you have a devil of a time getting it going again. So it was with me Monday morning when my two little alarm clocks (one four and the other two years old) let me know that it was the time to rise and shine and get back to the old grind. Another thing about holidays is that when you get back things are always in such a mess that you wished you'd never left. The office looked even worse than usual, which, like most news- paper offices I've ever seen, is terrible. It looked like that cyclone over in Australia had made a slight detour and visited Blyth. The last publication of 1974 had gone to press and the holidays had started immediately for the staff, so no one had been around to clean up the usual clutter that goes into getting an offset newspaper ready for printing. Bits and pieces of paper cluttered the floor of the work area. The front desk was a shambles. As usual, the boss' desk looked like the back of Jerry Heffron's garbage truck on a Thursday morning. And to make things worse, there was a week's worth of mail stacked here, there and anywhere there was room to hold it, If you think I'm exaggerating, you obviously have never been the one to open the mail in a newspaper office. You think you get junk mail? You should see what we get. Every government agency in the nation wants you to print their press releases concerning such urgent topics as a Canada Council grant to Herman Swarts of Nanaimo, B.C. to write a book on the different methods of cutting toenails in each of the Canadian provinces and territories, or the lates information about unem- ployment among Eskimos with three dependents and seven unemployed husky dogs to feed. if the government could cut out all its useless propaganda, and let go all the public relations men who write it, we might even be able to afford to pay those high salaries for M.P.s. Then there's the companies who all have amazing new products; or amazing new and improved family•sized products that they're trying to weasel free advertising for. These are invaria- bly accompanied by pictures of half -naked ladies beside the new what's -it to tempt you to use the material, Then there are 733 charitable groups that are all after free advertising to help save starving children in Nigeria or Niagara Falls or for solving athlete's foot among the three -toes sloth of Borneo. And then there's my waste basket. Of necessity it is very large. Yet it still needs to be emptied twice a week (though ,often it's only emptied once a week and therefore the discarded press releases and beautiful glossy photographs spill uncere- moniously over onto the floor). The basket is large because if it weren't, the newspaper would be larger. We'd need to run a hundred pages every week to get everything in we're asked to. Then, so much of you what was in would be garbage that you people wouldn't read anything anyway. Well, anyway, we dug out from the mess long enough to get this issue out, but please, don't show up at the office for a few days and expect to see something neat and tidy. At our best we're terrible. At our worst, after the combina- tion of Christmas rush and Christmas holidays, %we're disgusting. Donnybrook news Christmas visitors BY MRS.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 1, 1975. Editorials An uncomfortable settlement Isn't it a sad day when we have to be grateful for a wage settlement that is 21.5 percent? Such is the case this week with the settlement of the civil servants' dispute with the Ontario government. The government employees started out asking for a ridiculous 61.5 percent wage increase in one year. After a good deal of fencing on both sides, they reduced their demand to 41 percent, then 29 percent. They came down to .the 25 percent mark by Sunday and then, at the last minute, to the 21.5 percent (jail guards will get 23 percent). There are several unfortunate circumstances surrounding the settlement. The most important, of course, is that the 21.5 percent figure will now become a landmark for all other workers in the province to shoot for. If they do, we're in for a hell of a year next year. If the cost of labour increases by 21.5 percent, can we not expect the employer who pays these salaries to demand at least the same amount for his product? (The cost of living in the past year increased only 12 percent. It would appear that this settlement could spell an increase in the cost of living of more like 20 percent next year). The unions can stand this because they can always ask for even more next year. But the pensioner, the unemployed and the single -parent family can't take it. And the traditional villain in the piece, the employer, may also start to have second thoughts. Costs are shooting high. The markets are cooling off. Many employers will follow the example of the auto makers or companies like Electrohome and begin laying off workers. We just may be up to our ears in unemployment at a time when prices have never been so high. A 20 percent pay increase doesn't do you much good if you're laid off several months later. Not that the government employees need worry. They're virtually guaranteed of permanent employment. It is politically unthinkable to lay off government employees (especially with an election in the wings). And at a time of recession or depression, governments usually tend to hire more employees, not cut the government payroll.) . So the government employees have established a dangerous precident without any risk to themselves. Nice work if you can get it. Thanks to council The New Year brings a change in village council. If the new council can accomplish as many things as the outgoing council, we're in for an interesting two years in Blyth. It's often said that being a town councillor is a thankless task. We think that there should be at least one thank you to the members of the outgoing council. They have served us well. Looking back on the record of the outgoing councillors, it's hard to believe that so much could be accomplished in so short a time: or that so many things weren't accomplished despite the persistent effort of the councillors. In the latter category are two major projects undertaken by the council: the sewerage project and the senior citizens housing project. In both cases, the councillors found out the frustration of dealing with big government such as the Ontario government bureacracy. Yet the senior citizens housing project seems likely to break ground in the coming months and through persistent pushing by the council and M.P.P. Murray Gaunt, the sewerage project is probably moving as fast as any such project ever has in his province.' There's been the careful planning for the future with the plans for the new storm sewer on the east side of town to help future growth and relieve long-time problems for homeowners in the area. There have been the little things like the new street signs or the licencing office (which will come in handy in the next couple of months.) There have been the painstaking, yet in hind -sight wise, dealings with Memorial Hall which will see it back in use in the new year. But most of all there has been the temperate and wise dealing with day to day affairs that has allowed the council to accomplish much without costing the taxpayers a good deal. In its first year, indeed, this council actually lowered taxes. In the second year, the taxes went back up to approximately where they were in the first place, but most of this increase was due to expenses at the county level over which the council has no control. And so we should say thanks to the old council and hope that they may be able to manage their own future affairs as well as they have managed ours in the past two years. What makes a small town what it is? It is sad, but still encouraging that it is at times of tragedy that we see what really makes a small town what it is. Such was thecase during the recenttragic disappearance and death of Robert Wallace, a life-long resident` of the area, Novelists, radio and television people and big city newspapers make much of some aspects of city life, such as the fact everyone knows your business and the fact there isn't a roaring nightlife,'but seldom do they deal with the kind of togetherness that is brought out by such a tragedy.. For days, while Mr. Wallace was missing, you . could hardly go anywhere or talk to anyone in the Blyth area without being asked if you'd heard any word about Mr. Wallace. People volunteered their time to go out and look for the missing man. The community drew together, looking after, and caring about, one of its own: just like a big family, Certainly there must have been some who were not always the best of friends with this man, just as there are with every human. There were many others who hardly knew him. Yet they all cared. They all prayed for his safe return. Unfortunately, all the caring and all the praying by the community could not work miracles in this case. But at other times, such community spirit could mean the difference between life and death, It's nice to know thatspint is still t here. "Look • I told the boss he had bad breath ... you have to tell him we don't like the odor of his mouthwash!" AND the same to you! I probably should have sent off a Merry Christmas column to all my readers about the first of November, to make sure it was received by December 25th. I known this won't be. But it's not your faithful chronicler's fault, nor the fault of your favourite weekly newspaper. The entire blame must rest on the broad shoulders • they have to be broad • of that modern pheno- menon of efficiency, Canada Post. People in that august institu- tion must be afraid of getting their hands soiled by handling the average weekly newspaper, full of violence, rape, murder and muggings. They probably use a shovel. Shovel it into a corner until some day, between coffee breaks, they are so bored that they resort to sorting and sending the weekly paper. When I was in the business, we used to mail the paper on Thursday, and people in Ohio or Texas would receive it on Monday. Nowadays, I count on my weekly paper being a week late in arriving. Time after time, I've been tempted to take up my typewriter and dash off an encouraging note to , a weekly editor who has written a particularly pungent editorial, only to pause in the certainty that by the 'time he'd received my letter, the hot issue he'd attacked or defended would be three weeks old, and as cold as a corpse. Well, we mustn't be mean at Christmas, must we? Although I don't see why not. The same miserable sods are going to be around on Boxing Day, and the same inefficient, insolent institu- tions will be back in business on Jan` 1. Since it's too late to wish everyone a Merry, I'll put everything in the past tense. I hope you got exactly what you wanted for Christmas, whether it was a baby or a kazoo or a sober husband, I hope you got Joy. And if you didn't, I hope you were happy with Myrtle or Hazel or Pearl or Genevieve. Thoughts for the season If you wanted 'a pair of those foam -rubber keen -pads for scrub- bing, 1 hope you get them. And if you wanted a mink wrap, I hope you didn't. I hope you were not pregnant if you didn't want to be, and were if you wanted. to be. 1 hope you didn't bust your bum on those new down -hill skiis, or bust your heart on those new cross-country skiis, both of which are too young or too old to be doing anything with except feeding the living -room fire. If you are old and lonely, 1 hope you received a warm telephone call - about 15 minutes worth, and not collect - from someone who is young and loves you. And if you are young and lonely, I hope you got a long telephone call, collect, from someone who is old and loves you. If you are a farmer, 1 hope you slept on Christmas Eve with visions of sugarplums and rein- deer fast in your head. Jeer., a guy can't make any money on beef these days. Might as well get into reindeer, If you are a schoolteacher, 1 hope you remembered at Christ- mas that you too -were once a fat and ugly duckling,' riddled with pimples, shy to the point of fainting if asked a question, lazy as a cut cat, sort of dirty, really, and yet a striving, yearning, beseeching human bean, If you were a mother at Christmas - well, all I can say is that I hope you believe in a life after death. And if you were a father, well, all I can say is that I hope you, too, believe in a world in the hereafter. Preferably segregated. If you are a business tycoon, a union leader, or anyone in the upper echelons of education, I hope your ulcer ruined your Christmas dinner. If you are an old maid, and have been lurking these many years in the fold of your "sick" mother's night-gown, 1 hope you decided at Christmas to unlurk. Same, for old male spinsters, Unlurk. Boy, that almost sounds like a dirty word, if you practise. Try it. Unlurkl Whatever happened at Christ- mas, hung in there. We need you, We hewers of wood, and drawers of water, as Canadians are known have to stick together and keep on hewing drawers, Every time there comes a crack about hewers and drawers, 1 burst into a hue and cry. Bursting into a hue is fairly simple. 1 can turn purple on very little provocation, as my family will tell. Almost anybody can hew or hue. But the drawers are the problem. Nobobdy wears drawers any more. How can you cry them when there ain't none. This is a problem that Canadians are going to have to give a good deal of thought to in the coming year. Well, those are my season's greetings to Awl and Sundry (my legal representatives), as well as to all you faithful readers.

THE BLYTN STANDARD, JANUARY 1, 1975. From start to finish 1974 was a hectic year in Blyth and area Those who say nothing inter- esting ever happens in Blyth should look back at just what happened in the village and area in 1974. It was a busy year from start to finish, but particularly in the first few months of the year. The year was barely begun when it was announced that a survey of need would betaken to determine if a senior citizens apartment building would be built in Blyth. Letters were to be sent out to all senior citizens in the village and surrounding arca. A new business opened on Jan. 11 when Huron Tractor Limited,- the largest John Deere dealership in Canada, opened its Blyth Branch. The event was attended by such dignitaries as Robert McKinley, M.P. and Jack Riddell M.P.P. Eight area residents made an appearance in court in Goderich charged with growing marijuana on a farm northeast of town. Five were later convicted. The January meeting of the Huron County Board of Education saw the establishment of a teacher centre for Huron County teachers which would move from one area of the county to another to serve teachers. Late January also saw the first attempt to form a centennial committee to begin Tong -range planning for Blyth's centennial in 1977. The meeting saw meagre turnout of 15, however, so it was voted to hold another meeting in Februrary. January 30 saw the death of a well-known Blyth native, A.H. Wilfred. Often known as the Rutabaga King, Mr. Wilfred lived a colourful life after his birth in Blyth on March 16, 1887 and became known for his work in promoting things from rutabags to an annual trade fair in Blyth to chincillas. Morris township made its first move toward an official plan in February when Huron County Planning Director Garry Davidson attended a council meeting and the council voted to ask the county planning department to prepare an official plan. Blyth council decided in February to go after a licensing office for the village so locals wouldn't have to journey out of town to get their licences. Council also asked school trustees John Henderson and Ken Cooke to the meeting to discuss problems at the Blyth Public School including problems with the septic tank system. By the next week the sewer issue had blown wide open with verbal jousting taking place between the county school board and the Medical Officer of Health over the issue. The situation was resolved when the school board agreed to pump the septic tank regularly to prevent overflowing. Some 70 persons attended the meeting to organize a senior citizens club for Blyth and area. Mrs. Keith Webster .was named the president of the new group which adopted the name "Swing- ing Seniors". The Lions Club met with council to discuss financing of a proposed swimming pool to serve Blyth and area. The club was later to drop the project because of the cost of building and maintaining the pool. February saw another episode in the running battle between area farmers and Ontario Hydro. A delegation representing farmers on the route of the proposed Douglas Point to Seaforth power corridor met with members of the provincial cabinet and came away hopeful is had made an impression with its argument to save Huron county farmland. On February 17, long-time Blyth resident and merchant Stanley Chellew died at age 80. The February meeting of Huron county council saw Ontario Hydro admit that it was consider- ing building an atomic power station along the Lake Huron shoreline in Huron county. The meeting of February 26 was successful in the formation of a Centennial Committee for Blyth with John Manning as chairman and Bill Richt as vice-chairman. In March, Blyth council learned that despite its hopes of having the Blyth sewerage project speeded up because of problems at Blyth Public School, there was no hope of getting the project underway before 1976. The Huron county Federation of Agriculture signed the 2000th member of the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture in the county. March 18 saw the opening of a new business on the main street when Barbara Walsh opened BJ Fabrics. At its April meeting, Blyth village council discussed growing pains being experienced by the town as the demand for building lots made it necessary to open up new streets. Council was also reconsidering its decision about renovating Memorial Hall whent the engineer estimated costs would reach $19,800. Council also learned that urban areas such as Blyth would be hardest hit by an increase in .county tax assess- ments. The East Wawanosh township Federation of Agriculture held its annual meeting and heard county planner Nick Hill explain what to expect when the township begins the process 'of forming an official plan some time in 1975. The fight by area farmers against Ontario Hydro over the power corridor was report to already be saving some farmland as Hydro reduced it's original request for land. A mid-April tornado that tore through the Seaforth-Dublin area knocked out power to the Blyth area for three hours. The annual auditors report for the village showed a deficit of $4757 due to unexpected expenses in 1973. The county school board meanwhile brought in a record $13 million budget. In May, the results of the survey of need for senior citizens housing showed that a 12 -unit building was needed in Blyth. Rents would range from $39 per month for the units. Council was told by the engineer that repairs to Memorial Hall could be underway by July. Hullett taxpayers got the good news in May that their tax bill would be down. East Wawanosh township council made plans to form a township recreation committee. West Wawanosh asked its auditor, A.M. Harper to resign and agreed' to contact a Stratford firm as replacement. Many not only brought the flowers, but news of a federal general election. John Lyndon, Goderich Theatre manager was named to run for the Liberals, Shirley Weary, Goderich, school teacher was named for the N.D.P. and of course Robert McKinley was named for the Conservatives. June brought bad news to Blyth taxpayers: a 10 -mill increase. The county council, meanwhile, asked for a study on county -wide policing. Fourteen Texans came to Ontario on an exchange visit organized by the Lions Club. They held a get-together in Blyth Lions Park before dispersing to homes throughout Western Ontario. Two Blyth boys undertook an unusual fund-raising project in June to raise money for the Blyth recreation project. They took turns pushing each other in a wheel barrow all the way to London: a trip that took only two days. 1t raised $900. In June Ontario Hydro moved to expropriate land along the route •of the power corridor. Tenders for the repair ' of Memorial Hall were called in July and village council refused to let the contract when the lowest legal tender was $47;750, more than twice the original estimate. The July 8 geheral election saw Robert McKinley sweep the Huron -Middlesex riding as expected but with a reduced majority while elsewhere in the country the Liberals were being voted in with a majority govern- ment. Due to a large amount of vandalism and noisy driving, village council voted to investi- gate hiring a special constable. It was announced that Blyth would get a licencing bureau, Grand View Lunch reopened under the ownership of Robert and Frances McClinchey. in mid-July Ontario Hydro announced it was suspending plans for an atomic generating station for Huron county. It was to be revealed later in the year, however, that Hydro was not completely discarded the idea of building in Huron. Hullett township decided to form a recreation committee. Blyth councillors argued that Ministry of the Environment regulations calling for no burning of garbage by Blyth-Hullett dump would add greatly to the costs without getting better results. By the end of July two new offers had been received for renovations to Memorial Hall and council was investigating them. Attempts to form a regional health council were opposed by county officials in August. Better known as the Mustard Report, the proposals would radically change the structure of present health care systems in Ontario. In September, council gave its approval to go ahead with renovations to Memorial Hall with Venture Construction of Wingham given the contract.

East Wawanosh council decided to form a recreation committee, In late September the Auburn recreation committee began to canvass the village for funds for its programs. October saw the beginning of repairs to Memorial Hall. It also saw the appointment of a new rector for St.' Michael's Roman Catholic Church. And there was the revelation that Huron might still get an atomic power plant. in October Blyth council was once again seeking help from Murray Gaunt to speed up the planning for the village's sewer project. Huron County Warden Bill Elston of Morris township was honoured in Brussels. In late October, Doug Fortune of Wing - ham was re-elected president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. November saw the opening of nominations. A lively public meeting in Blyth saw about 30 persons question the outgoing councillors. The Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority announced it had purchased 210 acres in Morris township. The environmental hearing on the Blyth Sewar project was scheduled for Dec, 10, then cancelled when the Ministry could not get an option on the land needed, The December 2 elections brought some surprises. Hullett got a new reeve in the person of John Jewitt. East Wawanosh got a new reeve,'one Simon Hallahan. In Blyth councillor William Howson topped the polls in council elections with Helen Cowing second, Con Van Vliet third and Rev. Fred Carson fourth. John Elliott of Blyth was elected to county school board to represent Blyth, Hullett, McKillop and Clinton. An art show was held in Memorial Hall to put the work of Huron County artists on display, and raise money for Memorial Hall. Belgrave U.C.O. announced another record year and plans to expand with a new warehouse and store in 1975. Wilfred Shortreed of Walton was named chairman of the Huron County Board of Educa- tion. It was announced that plans are underway for a mobile home park in the village to be owned by the village. And so a busy year came to a close.

Agricultural Tidbits Looking ahead to 1975 WITH ADRIAN VOS When you read this column, it will be the year of our Lord 1975 and with all the concern I have expressed in this past year, we are all grateful) that we were able to provide for so many the food that is needed to help keep us all healthy. Our fond hope is, that we may continue to do so for a long time. We hope that society in this new year will come to its senses, and help us to conserve land that. is so sorely needed in the future, not only to feed those who are 'starving now, but also to feed our own country when the population increases to the level that is predicted for the next 25 years. We wish for an end to the troubled economic times and for an end to the crop disasters that plagued this world in the last year. I wish us all working together to make this a better world to live in, with Faith, Hope and Charity. We as farmers have faith and hope, or else we wouldn't be O.P.P. report During the week December 23 to December 29 the following' investigations were carried out by officers at Wingham Detachment of the O.P.P.

Some even say that to be a farmer you have to have charity as well, for who else would give so much for so little. Did you know that Canada's trade balance is as big as the farm exports? Yes, that's true. We export about $750 million of farm products and our favourable trade balance is about the same, 1 am proud to say that we, being only five percent of the population, make it possible for the other 95 percent to have the high standard of living we enjoy, A good deal of the credit for the efficiency of the Canadian farmer goes to the research work done at the various levels of government, and to the extension specialists from the ministries of agriculture and food, under the guidance of the Agricultural Representatives. Credit should go to the farmer for utilizing the advice he receives so well. While the land is resting, many farmers will go to courses provided by those specialists, to be even more efficient than, they are already. At a meeting held in Grand Bend the two trustees who have been on the county board since it was formed in 1969 were each presented with a gift. Ted Geoffrey of Zurich, who presented the gift to Mr. Kieffer, said he had done an outstanding job for the board. In reply Mr, Kieffer thanked the board and asked for the same support for his successor, William Kinahan. Donald Crowley in presenting Mr. McCann with his gift said "There can't be a more honest guy around, He says what he thinks, He has done a good job for the board," in reply Mr. McCann spoke of the first year as being a tough one for all the members with no superintendent, of the progress made, of his year as chairman and wished the board the best in the future, He will be succeeded by Greg Fleming.

Here's good news... for CPP contributors -their surviving spouses and dependent children Recent changes to the Canada Pension Plan will result in substantially increased benefits for 1975 and subsequent years. There are other important changes, too. Some affect people over 65 or approaching that age. Others provide equality for the spouses and dependent children.of male and female contributors. These changes may require prompt action or getting advice. So we suggest you read this message very carefully. Retirement Pensions Have•you contributed to the Plane: • • at any time since January 1,1966? Are you between 65 and 69? • Then you have a choice .. . Apply now and start receiving your monthly CPP retirement pension. No more need to retire to collect benefits. (Once you start receiving your pension, however, you can't make further contributions to the Plan.) OR Continue to contribute to the CPP and possibly build up a larger retirement pension to commence at a later date. Continuing to contribute is also a way to qualify survivors for benefits if you have not already done so. (When approaching age 70, you should consider applying for your retirement pension because after 70 you may no longer contribute to the Canada Pension Plan.) NOTE: Before making your choice you may wish to seek advice from the nearest CPP office. The staff will be pleased to helpyou. Are you approaching age 65? If you have made your choice and want your CPP retirement pension to commence as early as possible, you should apply two or three months before your 65th birthday. NOTE: There is no provision for retroactive payment of retirement pensions between the ages of 65 and 69. So if you're in,that age group or approaching it, get advice as soon as possible. Do you now receive a CPP retirement pension? As of January 1st, 1975, your pension will no longer be' affected by any money you earn thereafter. Other Changes: The earnings ceiling—that is, the maximum amount on which contributions can be paid and on which benefits can be calculated—is being raised to $7400.in 1975 and to $8300 in 1976. The initial amount of earnings, on which you are not required to contribute, will be $700 in 1975. /,• 1 Health Sante•et • and Welfare Bien -etre social Canada Canada Marc Lalonde, Minister Equal Protection 'S for Males and Females.

Benefits for Orphans A monthly benefit payable,to unmarried dependent children under 18 and to unmarried dependent children between 18 and 25 attending school or university on a full-time basis. In order for survivors to qualify, the contributor must have died in January1968 or later and must have contributed for the minimum'contributory period, which is three years for ."deaths occurring before January 1, 1975.

They show that the province will need that amount over and above the 8.3 billion listed in the April budget to pay for its various programs until the end of March 1975. Much of the increased spend- ing is by the Health and Education Ministries. The total cash deficit put at $847 million on October 31 could rise to about $900 million by the end of the year accodring to some Treasury estimates, A new Ministry of Culture and Recreation is to be estiablished by the Ontario Government. Legisla- tion is expected soon to protect buildings that are of historic or architectural value. The Ministry of Culture and Recreation will inherit certain responsibilities from the established Colleges and Univer- sities and Community and Social Services Ministries. The Education Act 1974 was passed this week and among its 274 sections is section 49 which permits parents of children attending a public or secondary school to visit the school at any time. The same privilege is extended to Members df Parlia- ment and 'Clergymeh to visit any school within their constituency or district as the case 'may be. The idea behind this is that parents do have the right to visit educational facilities where `their children are being educated and for which‘ they are paying. Beer and soft drink cans with, pull tab openers will be replaced by push open cans within a' year according to Enir'onment Minister Wm. Newman. The environment- alists are unhappy, however, that - he refused to ban \the cans entirely. Mr. Newman issued astate- ment of policy in tabling the 1258 page final report of the Solid Waste Task Force in the Legislature. What Mr. Newman will not accept are the recommendations in the report that retailers be required to carry returnable soft drink containers of the same brands and sizes they now carry in non-returnables and the suggestion that deposits on beer bottles be increased, Over 96 percent of beer bottles are returned now. Mr, Newman said the Govern- ment position on banning non • returnable containers "blends positive improvements to our environment with the minimum disruption to employment, invest- ment and minimum additional cost to the consumer', He further went on to say that next year he intended to sit down with the industry and work it out.

Throw it out - but into the garden, not into the garbage. In the garden, there are many uses for discarded Christmas trees. "A few branches, cut and laid on the ground to form a mulch, will protect roses, strawberries, chrysanthemums, and other special plants," suggests Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist R.F. Gomme. "The branches trap snow, and snow is one of the best insulators. It forms an even cover and costs nothing. Mulches prevent the freezing and thawing which heaves the roots and damages plants." Other uses for the Christmas tree: Evergreen needles and small cut up branches could be dug into the garden next spring to improve the soil texture. Flower- ing bulbs in pots can be rooted outdoors in trenches, for later indoor forcing, if the soil in the trench is protected by thick layers of Christmas tree boughs. In. addition, discarded trees make excellent bird shelters and feeding stations. Real Estate Real Estate 82 Albert Street Clinton Phone: 482-9371 MASON BAILEY BROKER/MANAGER 11/2 storey J.M.

It will not smother your lawn if you build it the right way. "Start the rink after the ground has frozen and a deep layer of snow • has accumulated," advises Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist R.F. Gomme. "Do not scrape the snow away. Build the rink on top, so grass under the ice benefits from air in the snow." Outline the rink area by moulding snow into a ridge. Place boards or plywood on edge inside the ridge for hockey cushions, Level the snow inside the edging by dragging a snow shovel or toboggan over the rink area. To build the base, sprinkle water many times for short periods, either directly on the snow or on large plastic sheets covering the snow, A garden hose or lawn sprinkler is ideal for this job, according to Mr, • Goncme. Tramp the area around the rink edges to prevent water from draining away. Patch rough spots or holes with snow, then soak with water. Clean the ice surface•before each flooding. Once a good base is formed, keep the ice smooth by frequently giving it a light spray, Next spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, fertilize the lawn where the rink had been, TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTOjl�,A SYNDICATE Jamie has just turned 10. He's slender and healthy, with brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin. He needs glasses for astigmatism and far-sightedness but doesn't like wearing them, so they are often conveniently forgotten. This lad likes grown up company but isn't a good mixer with children, Part of the problem is that he is poorly co-ordinated so that some activities, especially sports, are hard for him. He tends to be a loner, preferring crafts or reading or television to games. Jamie is in a class for children with perceptual problems. He enjoys school and tackles his work with enthusiasm. Academically, he is at the Grade two to four level but in a recent verbal test he ranked with some 11 -year-olds. Warm, firm, understanding parents and some teenagers to take an interest in him will be an ideal family for Jamie. To inquire about adopting Jamie, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2, For general adoption information, consult your local Children's Aid Society.
